The NIaynOwer.

The Congregational Sunday
School & Publishing Society began
with this year the publication of a
four page weekly for youngest read
ers in the primary department of
our Sunday schools, the name of
1.-The Mayflower" being given it as
appropriate to the pilgrim" series
of publications for Sunday schools,
of which it was to form part. The
Society has recently learned that a
newspaper bearing the same name
had for some years been published
at Yarmouthport, Mass, by Mr..
George Otis. This has led to a
friendly correspondence, and Mr..
Otis, with evident sympathy in the
work OF the Society, cordially ac-
quiesces in the use which is made
of the title, 1.-The Mayhower," in
connection with the juvenile pub
LEGATION above referred to. Ac-
acknowledgements are due to Mr.. Otis
for his great courtesy in this matter,
and it should be clearly understood
that his right to the title, "The May
flower" rs applied to newspaper,
is in no way affected by this use
which is made it, with his knowl-
edge and consent, by the Congre-
gational S. S. & Pub Society. Mr..
Otis's "Mayhower" is an attractive
weekly paper (secular) of eight
pages, and is intended for the fam
lily. 1t has large variety of reading
matter adapted to old and young, is
carefully edited, and its price, 81 per
year, places it within the reach of
many readers who cannot afford
the higher priced papers, ongre-
!aationalist, May 20th, 1887.
We understand correspondence
is being had with Oliver Optic,
James Otis, Horatio Alger, Jr., and
other eminent writers for the young,
in order to secure their interesting
contributions for the Mayhower.
The Mayfiower will be sent on trial
for two months for only ten cents.

The Wayne News glories and boasts because
.nis country has President who will veto
lost their health in saving and preserving
this Nation.-tCEREDo ADVANCE.
Gently, Mr.. ADVANCE. Go slow
or you might misrepresent some
body. The Wayne Ne,cs is in favor
of pensioning every real soldier
that saw real service and was disa-
bled or injured in health by that
service, but the general pension laws
OF this country to-day afford all the
relief necessary. The pension laws
are so liberal now that almost any
man who was in the army, and a
great many who were not, can get
pensions. Any person who cannot
get a pension under the existing
laws sufficient to maintain himself
and family was either in the Confed-
crate army or not in the country in
time of the war. A great many
who fought for saving the union
were prompted by something else
besides patriotism. A large ma
jority fought for S13. a month, ra-
tons and clothing and they got it.
A large portion of them did not
know what they were fighting for
outside OF pay. Eight out OF ten to-
day will tell you that they did not
know that they were fighting to free
the negroes Wayne WeacS.
1t is not our intention tn misrep-
resent any one; but we do not hest

doubtless, is conscientious in that
which he asserts, but in reality he
misses the true state Of affairs very
widely, as our readers will
plainly see after having perused the
above.
1t is an insult to the intelligence
Of the soldiers to say that they Cor a
great many Of them) fought for the
paltry sum Of thirteen dollars per
month, instead Of for the good of
their country. We are sure the
soldiers were not so ignorant as that.
If the Union soldiers fought for
pay, for what did the Confederate
soldiers fght-the fun?
